Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.”
Extremely normal stuff coming from an extremely normal party.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.
I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Reupping my piece from a couple of weeks ago on how SCOTUS has made it easier, not harder, for bad faith presidents to go after their predecessors www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Opinion | The immunity ruling was ostensibly to protect former presidents. So much for that.
Far from deterring such prosecutions, the court’s 2024 decision has made them easier.

Paul Dama left Nigeria after being kidnapped in 2018. His detention by ICE now feels like “a second kidnapping,” says his sister.
“I felt like someone just sucked my blood, my air. Like, how do you live?"

The most striking thing about Trump’s military parade is how babyish it is. It’s like something a child would want for his birthday. It would be so much cheaper just to get him a bounce house
